दिल्ली पुलिस की क्राइम ब्रांच ने पाकिस्तान की एक और घातक साजिश को नाकाम कर दिया है। दिल्ली क्राइम ब्रांच ने पाकिस्तानी खुफिया एजेंसी आईएसआई से जुड़े एक बड़े अंतरराष्ट्रीय हथियार तस्करी गिरोह का पर्दाफाश किया है। इस मामले में चार आरोपियों को गिरफ्तार किया गया है। पुलिस के मुताबिक, ये गिरोह पाकिस्तान के रास्ते तुर्की और चीन में बने हाई एंड पिस्टल भारत में सप्लाई कर रहा था।

तस्करों के पास से क्या-क्या हुआ बरामद?
डीसीपी संजीव कुमार यादव के नेतृत्व में क्राइम ब्रांच ने गुप्त सूचना के आधार पर एक बड़ी कार्रवाई करते हुए इस अंतरराष्ट्रीय अवैध हथियार सप्लाई मॉड्यूल का भंडाफोड़ किया। पुलिस ने इस गैंग के चार मुख्य ऑपरेटिवों को गिरफ्तार कर लिया। दिल्ली पुलिस क्राइम ब्रांच ने गिरफ्तार अंतरराष्ट्रीय हथियार तस्करी गिरोह के सदस्यों कोके पास से 10 विदेशी महंगी पिस्टल और 92 जिंदा कारतूस बरामद हुए हैं। ये हथियार दिल्ली और आसपास के राज्यों में बदमाशों और गैंगस्टरों तक पहुंचाए जा रहे थे।

आईएसआई के इशारों पर कर रहे था काम
दिल्ली पुलिस क्राइम ब्रांच का कहना है कि ये पूरा नेटवर्क पाकिस्तान आईएसआई से जुड़े लोगों के इशारे पर काम कर रहा था। पाकिस्तान से ड्रोन के जरिये अंतरराष्ट्रीय सीमा पार कर भारत में भेजी गई थी, जो बताती है कि दुश्मन कितनी आधुनिक तकनीक से आतंक फैलाने की तैयारी में था।

आरोपी पंजाब-यूपी और दिल्ली के 
इन गिरफ्तार आरोपियों की पहचान मनदीप, दलविंदर, रोहन और अजय उर्फ मोनू के रूप में हुई है। ये सभी आरोपी पंजाब, यूपी और दिल्ली के रहने वाले बताए जा रहे हैं। पहले हथियार पाकिस्तान पहुंचाए जाते, फिर वहां से तस्करी कर भारत की सीमा के अंदर लाए जाते थे।

लाल किला धमाके के बाद सतर्क हुईं एजेसियां
बता दें कि बीते 10 नवंबर को दिल्ली में लाल किला के पास हुए धमाके की घटना के बाद एजेसियों ने अपनी निगरानी और पैनी कर दी है। हर एक संदिग्ध गतिविधि पर नजर रखी जा रही है। आतंक से संबंध रखने वाले हर किसी की धर-पकड़ की जा रही है। लाल किला धमाके की घटना में 15 लोगों की मौत हो गई थी और 2 दर्जन से ज्यादा लोग घायल हो गए थे।

An Inspiring Story of Shri Rashk Siddiqui who Emerged as a Game-Changing Leader in India’s Public Sector.


Rashk Siddiqui has become one of the most dynamic and outcome-oriented officers in the Indian public sector scene. Having an unparalleled reputation for thinking like a businessman, behaving like a bureaucrat, and speaking like a politician, he is well known for his exceptional delivery in whatever project he ventures into. He has earned a good reputation over the years as a man who believes in execution, not excuses – a very uncommon combination of strategy, discipline, and innovation that has seen him labelled as the Jugaad Man of PSUs.


Everything in his personal or professional life is based on three strong principles, namely honesty, politeness, and integrity. To Siddiqui, these are moral values but also qualities that make a great leader. According to those who have worked with him, he is very precise in clearing obstacles and also ensures that everything assigned to him, even the most complicated tasks, is done on time. One of the senior officials once said that Siddiqui is an asset to any organization he works with because of his commitment and brilliance of thought.


Talking to one of the previous Chairman and Managing Directors of TCIL, who did not want to be identified, it was stated that you set a target for him and leave it alone. He will find the best path and do it. Similar views were expressed by a senior bureaucrat of a state government who added that Siddiqui’s innovative approach has assisted various state governments in implementing national and state-level projects of significance, often becoming the interface between administrative intent and on-ground reality.
Siddiqui has had a big opportunity in his career in business development activities where he has distinguished himself by his keen knowledge of operations and stakeholder management. From conceptualizing bids to signing large Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with state governments at national and international levels, he has achieved major milestones that have helped strengthen bids in the PSU sector of India. It was remembered by one of the past directors of TCIL, who said, “He is a stage performer. I can scarcely recall any task that was delegated to him and never finished.”

Rashk Siddiqui has never liked to be in the limelight despite his achievements. People who are close to him normally refer to him as Vighna Harta, the destroyer of hindrances, because of his capacity to fix problems quickly and successfully. He has a work ethic that blends administrative discipline and creative problem-solving, and he is one of the few PSU officers who can be both bureaucratic and creative.

In addition to his professional engagements, Siddiqui is also known to have a human side to him. He has been a regular contributor to the campaign “Helping the Unhelped,” where he offers his time and resources to help the needy. His compassion and desire to do more than duty demands have earned him respect inside and outside professional circles. 

One of his colleagues in the organisation commented that Rashk is always praised amongst the colleagues to Motivate and extend “ A Good Human” or “ Bhai” vibe. He always extends his help amongst various colleagues to solve their professional and personal issues. He is a very popular name among and outside the organisation.

Throughout the course of his career, Rashk Siddiqui secured businesses with over five state governments and travelled more than half of the world, acquiring priceless global exposure that has shaped his leadership style. The fact that he was appointed as one of the key members of the protocol team at WTSA 2024 also added to his achievements. Indian hospitality, under the workmanship of Siddiqui, the Indian Government received great appreciation from the senior members of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the United Nations, and over fifty telecom ministers of the world.

Rashk Siddiqui has a rare intellect, humility, and execution excellence, which continue to benchmark the PSU ecosystem in India. His experience is a source of hope to many – a lesson that despite the order of public service, creativity and enthusiasm can transform the definition of success.

दिल्ली पुलिस की क्राइम ब्रांच ने पाकिस्तान की एक और घातक साजिश को नाकाम कर दिया है। दिल्ली क्राइम ब्रांच ने पाकिस्तानी खुफिया एजेंसी आईएसआई से जुड़े एक बड़े अंतरराष्ट्रीय हथियार तस्करी गिरोह का पर्दाफाश किया है। इस मामले में चार आरोपियों को गिरफ्तार किया गया है। पुलिस के मुताबिक, ये गिरोह पाकिस्तान के रास्ते तुर्की और चीन में बने हाई एंड पिस्टल भारत में सप्लाई कर रहा था।

तस्करों के पास से क्या-क्या हुआ बरामद?
डीसीपी संजीव कुमार यादव के नेतृत्व में क्राइम ब्रांच ने गुप्त सूचना के आधार पर एक बड़ी कार्रवाई करते हुए इस अंतरराष्ट्रीय अवैध हथियार सप्लाई मॉड्यूल का भंडाफोड़ किया। पुलिस ने इस गैंग के चार मुख्य ऑपरेटिवों को गिरफ्तार कर लिया। दिल्ली पुलिस क्राइम ब्रांच ने गिरफ्तार अंतरराष्ट्रीय हथियार तस्करी गिरोह के सदस्यों कोके पास से 10 विदेशी महंगी पिस्टल और 92 जिंदा कारतूस बरामद हुए हैं। ये हथियार दिल्ली और आसपास के राज्यों में बदमाशों और गैंगस्टरों तक पहुंचाए जा रहे थे।

आईएसआई के इशारों पर कर रहे था काम
दिल्ली पुलिस क्राइम ब्रांच का कहना है कि ये पूरा नेटवर्क पाकिस्तान आईएसआई से जुड़े लोगों के इशारे पर काम कर रहा था। पाकिस्तान से ड्रोन के जरिये अंतरराष्ट्रीय सीमा पार कर भारत में भेजी गई थी, जो बताती है कि दुश्मन कितनी आधुनिक तकनीक से आतंक फैलाने की तैयारी में था।

आरोपी पंजाब-यूपी और दिल्ली के 
इन गिरफ्तार आरोपियों की पहचान मनदीप, दलविंदर, रोहन और अजय उर्फ मोनू के रूप में हुई है। ये सभी आरोपी पंजाब, यूपी और दिल्ली के रहने वाले बताए जा रहे हैं। पहले हथियार पाकिस्तान पहुंचाए जाते, फिर वहां से तस्करी कर भारत की सीमा के अंदर लाए जाते थे।

लाल किला धमाके के बाद सतर्क हुईं एजेसियां
बता दें कि बीते 10 नवंबर को दिल्ली में लाल किला के पास हुए धमाके की घटना के बाद एजेसियों ने अपनी निगरानी और पैनी कर दी है। हर एक संदिग्ध गतिविधि पर नजर रखी जा रही है। आतंक से संबंध रखने वाले हर किसी की धर-पकड़ की जा रही है। लाल किला धमाके की घटना में 15 लोगों की मौत हो गई थी और 2 दर्जन से ज्यादा लोग घायल हो गए थे।

An Inspiring Story of Shri Rashk Siddiqui who Emerged as a Game-Changing Leader in India’s Public Sector.


Rashk Siddiqui has become one of the most dynamic and outcome-oriented officers in the Indian public sector scene. Having an unparalleled reputation for thinking like a businessman, behaving like a bureaucrat, and speaking like a politician, he is well known for his exceptional delivery in whatever project he ventures into. He has earned a good reputation over the years as a man who believes in execution, not excuses – a very uncommon combination of strategy, discipline, and innovation that has seen him labelled as the Jugaad Man of PSUs.


Everything in his personal or professional life is based on three strong principles, namely honesty, politeness, and integrity. To Siddiqui, these are moral values but also qualities that make a great leader. According to those who have worked with him, he is very precise in clearing obstacles and also ensures that everything assigned to him, even the most complicated tasks, is done on time. One of the senior officials once said that Siddiqui is an asset to any organization he works with because of his commitment and brilliance of thought.


Talking to one of the previous Chairman and Managing Directors of TCIL, who did not want to be identified, it was stated that you set a target for him and leave it alone. He will find the best path and do it. Similar views were expressed by a senior bureaucrat of a state government who added that Siddiqui’s innovative approach has assisted various state governments in implementing national and state-level projects of significance, often becoming the interface between administrative intent and on-ground reality.
Siddiqui has had a big opportunity in his career in business development activities where he has distinguished himself by his keen knowledge of operations and stakeholder management. From conceptualizing bids to signing large Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with state governments at national and international levels, he has achieved major milestones that have helped strengthen bids in the PSU sector of India. It was remembered by one of the past directors of TCIL, who said, “He is a stage performer. I can scarcely recall any task that was delegated to him and never finished.”

Rashk Siddiqui has never liked to be in the limelight despite his achievements. People who are close to him normally refer to him as Vighna Harta, the destroyer of hindrances, because of his capacity to fix problems quickly and successfully. He has a work ethic that blends administrative discipline and creative problem-solving, and he is one of the few PSU officers who can be both bureaucratic and creative.

In addition to his professional engagements, Siddiqui is also known to have a human side to him. He has been a regular contributor to the campaign “Helping the Unhelped,” where he offers his time and resources to help the needy. His compassion and desire to do more than duty demands have earned him respect inside and outside professional circles. 

One of his colleagues in the organisation commented that Rashk is always praised amongst the colleagues to Motivate and extend “ A Good Human” or “ Bhai” vibe. He always extends his help amongst various colleagues to solve their professional and personal issues. He is a very popular name among and outside the organisation.

Throughout the course of his career, Rashk Siddiqui secured businesses with over five state governments and travelled more than half of the world, acquiring priceless global exposure that has shaped his leadership style. The fact that he was appointed as one of the key members of the protocol team at WTSA 2024 also added to his achievements. Indian hospitality, under the workmanship of Siddiqui, the Indian Government received great appreciation from the senior members of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the United Nations, and over fifty telecom ministers of the world.

Rashk Siddiqui has a rare intellect, humility, and execution excellence, which continue to benchmark the PSU ecosystem in India. His experience is a source of hope to many – a lesson that despite the order of public service, creativity and enthusiasm can transform the definition of success.
